  • Rowdy Lout.

    Three years ago, we had a run of bad luck, someone stole our 12volt solar panels off our drive, then we woke up one morning to find the front border wall of our house had been demolished by a stolen car. We bought new gates on the insurance, and I rebuilt the wall myself. It Read more

  • I’m not Done yet.

    A few friends out there in blog land, have expressed their concern, that my first attempt at entertaining, did not go to plan. I went to plan, I played my part well, but other elements were not there. So anticlimax is the word, after weeks of preparation, I have today succumbed to the ravages of Read more

  • Diet of nonsense.

    As mentioned previously I am prone to obsessions. Dieting for example, one is only supposed to get weighed once a week, but then it gradually creeps up, twice a week, and then it’s every other day. Then, there I am getting weighed every morning and then the night time ones! It’s like any habit, it Read more

  • Fluffy Jumper With the Picture of a Cat.

    Although I hate online shopping, it does have its uses, especially now high street shops are disappearing, forced out by online shopping of course. Unless of course you need a haircut, that would be difficult on line, but Ai and all that, one never knows ! Maybe you could one day buy a little drone Read more

  • Mr Benn

    I’m glad this one came up, I have something in my archive, I wrote for my care home talks. This is a little story, but hidden in the text are British tv shows, quite a few children’s programs, but some are adult shows. I course I realise a lot of my readers are from foreign Read more

  • A proper Shop.

    My favourite Time of day is early morning, It’s like the night has washed all the dirt off the day before and we can start anew. By 6.45 I hope to be in our own little bit of countryside which is the park and woodland behind our house, It’s a different world. I can switch Read more

  • Recipe For Life.

    When I received the news I was free of cancer, I was in turmoil, part pre cancer part post cancer. I remember saying to my wife “I’m going on a journey, will you come with me?” I didn’t realise then exactly what that meant, all I knew, I had to leave behind the Keith that Read more

  • Big Bill, Nell, and the Jack of Hearts.

    What excites me at the moment, is also what scares me, Tuesdays 26 August I have my first open mike night. It’s not actually my first public reading, I once took my model cars to a care home, did a talk on them, and some poetry reading. I actually got paid for that and, gave Read more

  • Pipe Dream.

    I would not build a city, cities are a symptom, of man’s inability to control greed not only in wealth but his habit to reproduce like rabbits. We are not meant to live in what is tantamount to poultry farms, then be brainwashed into thinking this is what we want. I live in a world Read more

  • What’s in a name and The Seat of Doom

    ”My name it means nothing, my age it means less, the country I come from is called the Mid West, I was born and brought up there the rules to abide, and that the land that I live in has God on its side” From the song “With God on Our Side” By Bob Dylan, Read more
